The concept was actually assembled in Gaydon in less than six months. In that timeframe, we see the concept transform from sketches to computer renderings. We then see designers meticulously work on the clay model, carving out the stylish curves for which Aston is known. From then on, the video shows the carbon fiber-intensive concept’s frame, which houses a naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V-12 under the hood. After the body has been assembled, the concept is spray painted in a unique blue-gray with yellow accents and a special emblem that signifies Aston’s 100 years. Last but not least, the Aston Martin wing badge is affixed to the front of the hood.

We then hear the Speedster concept come to life, as the rumbling engine sends the power to the wheels through a six-speed transmission. Although power or weight specs have not been revealed, the automaker claims the CC100 Speedster concept will reach 60 mph in 4.0 seconds with a 180-mph top speed.
